Faculty of Science Courses in Natural Science

The natural science courses are designed, as part of the BA and iBA general education program, to acquaint those students not intending to be professionally concerned with science with the outlook, methods and some of the achievements of science. The individual courses offered approach this objective by selecting a particular area, problem or aspect of science in which the operations of the scientific enterprise can be studied in some detail. In an increasingly technologically-oriented world, it is very important that all students have some familiarity with science to enable them to make more information choices and decisions that relate to themselves and society as a whole.

The courses may be broadly classified into four areas, within which and between some overlap occurs, resulting in course credit exclusions as noted. However, in certain circumstances, such exclusions are petitionable. Courses may have laboratory or tutorial sessions associated with them. The three categories are as follows:

The natural science courses are intended primarily for non-science majors. Courses in biology, chemistry, earth and atmospheric science, physics and astronomy and other science disciplines are described elsewhere in this section of the Undergraduate Calendar.

Grading procedure. Grades will be assigned in the manner described by the Faculty of Science in the Faculty of Science Regulations Governing Examinations and Academic Standards section of this publication.

Natural science is offered by the Faculties of Glendon and Science.

It shows the potential for population change in the country whereas natural increase shows the difference between the number of live births and deaths within the year. The natural increase countries are usually developing countries with poor access to resources such as food and water which causes many more deaths. 2)a) Crude Birth RateCrude Death Rate(53,491/5,765,371) X 1000(52,829/5,765,371) X 1000 Elbonia = 9.28 per 1000 people= 9.16 per 1000 people(359,291/18,127,531) X 1000(148,903/18,127,531) X 1000 Freedonia= 19.82 per 1000 people= 8.21 per 1000 peopleNet Migration RateNet Migration Rate(13,103/5,765,371) X1000(6,852/18,127,531) X 1000Elbonia = 2.27 per 1000 peopleFreedonia = 0.38 per 1000 peopleb) Elbonia’s growth rate = (53,491 – 52,829) + (13,103)X 100% = 0.24 %5,765,371
